Explanation of Changes

Change 1

Effective: August 10, 2025

a. 1–4–6. DEFINITIONS
2–1–3. PUBLICATION CRITERIA
2–1–9. COMPUTER PRINTOUTS
5–2–1. LIGHTING AIDS
7–2–1. FDC NOTAM EXPIRATION/CANCELLATION
Appendix E. E–6. RETRIEVING FDC NOTAMS

This change revises language in multiple paragraphs to be inclusive of all certificated part 139 airports to have access to the FAA NOTAM system. It also removed the requirement for a cancellation NOTAM to be issued upon the cancellation of original FDC NOTAM.

b. 3–1–2. FDC PRESIDENTIAL, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS, OR EMERGENCY AIR TRAFFIC RULES TFRs
Appendix D. D–2. FDC PRESIDENTIAL, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS, OR EMERGENCY AIR TRAFFIC RULES TFRs

This change addresses the procedure that was required for acknowledgment of identified FDC NOTAMs. With automation of coordination and external stakeholders providing flight planning and pilot informational briefings, the requirement for acknowledgement of certain FDC NOTAMs is not necessary. The procedures of processing the identified FDC NOTAMs for the watch supervisor, controller-in-charge (CIC), or designated lead specialist (DLS) responsibility were updated in this order until future update in FAA Order JO 7110.10, Flight Services. The requirement for USNOF to issue an FDC list has also been removed and is no longer part of the watch checklist.

c. 7–1–1. GENERAL
7–1–5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Appendix A. 7–1–5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS

This change addresses the addition of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for unmanned aircraft (49 U.S.C. section 44812) within Chapter 7 and Appendix A, updating Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) TFR examples. This change incorporates and cancels N 7930.115, effective August 7, 2025.

d. Editorial Changes

An editorial change to Appendix A, paragraph 7-1-4, updates the example to reference the correct regulation 14 CFR § 91.144 and includes the waiver language, ensuring that operators understand the need for compliance or special authorization.

e. Entire Publication

Additional editorial/format changes were made where necessary. Revision bars were not used because of the insignificant nature of these changes.
